k all about your hypothetical family example, you seem to regard most relationships involving someone from the Far East as based on cash and if it isn't then that is the exception. So you are ok with "judging" them. Ok then, I'll judge you: you are a tt.
It wasn't a hypothetical family, I sat next to them in a sports shop fairly recently. k all about your hypothetical family example, you seem to regard most relationships involving someone from the Far East as based on cash and if it isn't then that is the exception.

Yet!
Well I am very happily married to my far Eastern wife of 8 years.
We live in UK.
Her earnings are just a bit shorter than mine.
In a couple of years she will earn double my salary.
Let's say she is on target to earn circa 70k as chartered accountant.
She is very beautiful, and far, far younger than me.
Her love and affection knows no boundaries.

It is not your place to opine on another family based on an encounter of a few moments. In addition to which you have just decided why the sportswear was being bought to suit your own prejudice and this family appears to fall into a special category for your scorn because one of them is from the Far East.

Also, please point out where I have mentioned ethnicity at any point? You utter, utter tt.
So you just thought you would weigh in on a thread about Thai wives, with Thai wives in the thread title, where everybody has been talking about Thais and Filipinos and deciding that everyone from Thailand or the Philippines is dirt poor and just looking for a rich spouse: we are just supposed to assume your comments about judging people you don't even know are just meant to cover everybody, of all ethnicities?t.I have no interest in ethnicity, briatore has been used as an example in this thread, no mention there of ethnicity.
The point is regarding relationships with an underlying contractual basis. I also mentioned that this is not too dissimilar to this country not too long ago.

Again, point out where I mention ethnicity?
I have no interest in colour, race or ethnicity.

Ironically there are a few posters who point to something that is very very rare in the UK with disportionate attention it seems. Many old men see younger women in Britain. It suddenly becomes almost childish though when it involves a female from Thailand 'etc'. Again, point out where I mention ethnicity?

I'm sure if your mother or sister was single she might have a boyfriend that you might not approve of. How would you handle that?
Only once has someone said 'love you longtime' to my partner. She spat full on in his face. I think if your white and mix predominantly in white circles you don't understand racism and being told 'it's not racist mate etc' can wind up people who've suffered joking/conversational/casual racism even more.

This thread seems to me to be a bunch of (presumably) 100% white guys debating among themselves about when it's ok to call a Thai/Filipino woman a mail order bride and a when she might be a bit richer in her own right and be "one if us". This will obv depend on the body weight of the husband.

It strikes me as more one of people discussing why people go into relationships of such socioeconomic assymetry when what, presumably, makes you attractive is an asset that can be removed from you by divorce.There has certainly been a couple of tasteless comments, but far fewer than there have been indignant accusations of racism.
It's hardly a new concept.
on a recent motorbike tour in Vietnam i was talking to my guide about this and how Vietnamese girls where very forthcoming in wanting to be your girlfriend etc. Then we spoke about them marrying Westerners and them leaving the country. Anyway long story short, apparently theres quite a high suicide rate amongst these wifes as they leave the country for somewhere new and dont get on with the life style etc. Then if it is known that they have married and become divorced then theyre unlikely to marry again or not to a Vietnamese man anyway. Also once they get past a certain age then again, people think that there must be something wrong with them.
It maybe different in the Westernised areas but thats the general feeling there or it was from what my guide told me.
On the other hand, went to some bar that was predominantly expat and it just seemed to attract all the Saigon hotties looking for a Westerner.
